PITTsBURG, July 2.--Senator Sherman
passed through this city this morning
en- route from the East to his home in
Ohio. In an interview he emphatically
denied certain statements about Blaine,
credited to him in a New York inter
view published this morning. "Whst
appears in the morning papers was manu-.
factured," said he. II never said
Blaine was not candidate for the
Presidency. do hot know whether he
is candidate or hot, and certainly
would not venture an opinion regarding
it. Blaine and are the best of friends,
and it is unkind to put words into my
mouth that never uttered. Some pol.
iticians say he may not have the same
element of support in New York that
he had during the last campaign. As

Officers Censured for Their
Modes Of Management.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-The findings
of the court of inquiry into the allega-
tions of maladministration and irregul-
arities on the part of Col. Frank Whea.
ton. second infantry, late commanding
officer, and the arrest of Lieut.. D. E.
Clark second. infantry, late acting as.
sistant quartermaster at Fort Ceur
D'Alene, Idaho. have been made public.
The Court is of the opinion that while
the actions of the accused may have had
their origin in Jealous desire to create
a military post for which no ADEQUATE
appropriation had been made. the meth.
DDS and processes adopted were deplor.
able and were greatly to the detrimen t
of the service and against all discipline.
The President in approving of the pro-
ceedings of the court concurs in its
opinion but says that Notwithstanding
the responsible conduct of these officers
and the unlawful complexion of the
transactions exposed by this inquiry the
fact that some of the most serious
charges are barred by statutes of limita.
tions, leads him to advise that further
proceeding upon the accusations of the
court of inquiry be abandoned.

EXPLANATORY ENTRIES
or the Deficit Found I'm clerk
BacOn,s Accounts.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The Commits
sioners OF Patents has finished for pub
lication statement upon the subject Of
the deficiency in the accounts of the late
Levi Bacon, financial clerk of the pat.
ent office. A thorough investigation by
the committee shows an apparent short.
age of $50, 200, about S4500 of which
was in the attorneys fund leaving an
apparent deficit of about S2S, 500 in his
accounts with the government, against
which were found due billie from EN-.
ployes and others, dishonored drafts and
miscellaneous memoranda aggregatipg
about ST., 600 which leaves $ll, 800 OF
the government funds still unaccounted
for. Bacon's bond was for $4,000 and
this leaves a possible loss for the gov.
ernment of from $1,000 to $4,000. This
even may be collectable as the state
nent says: "There is some evidence to
indicate that Bacon may have been
compelled to carry considerable sum Of
money that was improperly appropi-
ated to political purposes in 1880. There
was found in his safe the following
memoranda in his hand writing:
